Hooray!
Connor should never dress another game for the big club.
And Conner practiced on 3rd line RW today.
You'd think they'd put Engelland there until D'ags could go on Saturday unless they plan on bringing someone else up.
Wouldn't mind Engo in the mix for NYI, always seem to have some scratched buff in the lineup against them since '11, and sadly I don't see someone besides Harry Z up, unless they want to give Gibbons a shot since he's doing so well in WBS
I hope he plays against the Leafs, Engo vs Orr
My question for this is why wouldn't we be better off having a better hockey player playing instead? What purpose will an Engo vs Orr fight serve other than being a quick sideshow? If the Leafs were still a bad team then sure, dress your trained sideshow monkey. But they are a good hockey team these days. Shouldn't we dress our best hockey players?
I said i hope Engo plays, playing Engo might not be putting your best lineup out there, but for me watching a heavy weight fight between Engo and Orr would be entertaining.
I will say from a hockey stand point a fight can sometimes give the bench some energy and turn around a game, remember Max Talbot.
Yeah, they guy has earned a cup of coffee. I'd be thrilled if his production early on is a sign of him taking the next step. He's exciting even when he doesn't score.It'd be cool to see Gibbons get a look.
Spontaneous fights involving non-fighters can spark momentum.
Staged fights between goons does nothing but give the guys a bit of a rest.

What Engelland vs Orr fight was staged?
Round 1 (NHL) - Engelland KO's Orr after some bumping
Round 2 (NHL) - Engelland beats Orr after Orr is pissed
Round 3 (NHL) - Draw after they go at it mid-play.
Bennett and Letang coming back?
Z on a 4th line is good. He agitates and brings energy to a 4th line. However, Adams and Glass were playing at a much higher quality than most of us expected. Adams actually had his worst game of the year but that's to be expected here and there.
I will hold my judgment as we are WAY early in the season. But I do like what Z brings toa 4th line.
